Bring Back Mara Jade Skywalker! Sign the Petition!! July 3, 2007

Mara Jade Skywalker didn’t have to die at the hands of Darth Caedus.

It was a wasted empty death…

Lucas Licensing apparently allowed this disaster to happen and now we should call on them to reverse it. The Sith have the power to bring back the dead and so too then does the Force.

Whether it is Ben or Luke Skywalker or even someone else I don’t care. I just want Mara Jade back.

To that end we here at ShowMeSciFi have started a petition to Bring Back Mara Jade.

Please sign in and together we can be THE FORCE that will bring Mara back.

A tip, now that I’ve remembered it. Don’t actually suggest a way to bring her back(“What if she…?”). They’re not allowed to read it.

Shes right
when i emailed karen traviss she told me for legal reasons
she cant read any suggestion on characters or stories.
Just remember to keep a civil tone in anything you send either
lucasfilm or del rey.
Also i checked the petition and there are still only 78 signatures on it.
If this keeps up this is never going to get done.
I am urging anyone who reads to sign the petition.
and to ask again to anybody reading this
Just how badly do YOU want mara jade back?

Luke should have the power to bring back the recently deceased. Allow him to unlock his full potential and bring his wife back after crushing Jacen. BRING HER BACK!

Mara dies?

This is exactly why I stopped reading after NJO.

Star Wars is a great thing, but the Expanded Universe is getting pretty tired and has been for quite some time excepting occasional books (Timothy Zahn’s).

Yeah Kevlar… It is something we all are…what’s the word…distressing about…Would you please sign our petition…to bring back one of the BEST EU charactors EVER….

the eu is just fine. as long as luke stays alive, the core story of star wars remains. its been forty years and while i hate seeing these great characters die, i think we should accept it.LUKE MUST LIVE but otherwise everything is fair game. we already know artoo is still around in legacy and in my opinion artoo is the core of star wars him and luke of course

Here’s something to ponder:

I came across a passage in a past novel set in the NJO books that I found interesting. In Rebirth, Mara gives birth to Ben albeit through her own illness given to her by Nom Anor. After Luke, Mara, and baby Ben combine in the Force to conquer Mara’s illness and help birthing Ben, Luke has a vision of Ben as a young boy. Look at this excerpt:

“He saw a young boy with hair of red-gold, tracing lines in the sand.
He saw himself, holding the boy, watching glowing lines of traffic move through the sky of some strange world–like Coruscant, but not Coruscant.
He did not see Mara, though he looked, and that brought a new note of discord to his thoughts.
Always in motion is the future, Yoda had once told him. Still, he reached farther, searching for Mara, farther along that uncertain, shifting path. The boy grew older; he was at the helm of a starship of strange design…” *

Now, for those who have read Sacrifice, tell me this isn’t eerie. Rebirth was published in 2001. Could it be possible the grand authors for Del Rey had planned the death of Mara this early? The ship he saw could very well be the Sith ship. And the fact that Luke couldn’t see Mara in the vision could be premonition.
Just wondering about your thoughts on this.

* So I don’t get sued, the excerpt is courtesy of Ballantine books and the author is Greg Keyes (who is NOT one of the authors for the Legacy series, I might add)

I fee that Jason solo’s killing of Mara was the final straw!!! Jacen Solo has never been that great of a charater to begin with! To kill mara in whatI would call “hair pulling contest”, is stupid and shows the fans how (I feel) that the some of the writers are sub-par in the star wars universe. I am not sure if I will buy the next book. Sorry but the last book sucked to me!
